Many of us will visit online and brick-and-mortar stores during this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday rush. The goal: Score top items on our holiday shopping lists.
But they’re not all gifts for others. Thirty-seven percent of shoppers will be looking to score items for themselves, according to Verizon’s latest FiOS Innovation Index survey.
“Connected” is this year’s deal day theme, as 52 percent of shoppers anticipate purchasing two or more Internet-enabled devices.
